ABSTRACT

The article focuses on the production of the independent film "Hoodwinked," release by Weinstein Co. The production cost less than $20 million and the animation was created by Digital Eyecandy, a studio in the Philippines. The compositing, lighting and texturing were done at a facility in India. Cory Edwards, Todd Edwards and Tony Leech directed the film.

The article presents information about Tex Avery, one of the outstanding directors of animated films. While at Warner Brothers he directed one of the best Bugs Bunny shorts ever, inserting the rabbit into the classic Big Bad Wolf milieu and deflating the whole Disney "cute woodland creature"...
